MSNBC Mistakenly Labels Nicolas Sarkozy A ‘Prostitute’
Michael Moore:
I think this the first time I've been on with the entire primetime MSNBC crew. All of us together at once. And I was sitting here thinking, someone's gonna keep this tape for our military tribunal in 2018.
Rachel Maddow:
Let's just hope it's a tribunal and not a drone strike.
“They’ve got a few progressive shows on MSNBC in prime time,” Gore said, “but they’ll start the day with a conservative show in the mornings, and then they’ll get the prison channel on the weekends. They’ll be all over the lot in the middle of the day. We’re [Current] consistent.”
Great Video: Alan Grayson on Rachel Maddow on #occupywallstreet
“They’re doing the one last human thing left; they’re going somewhere.”
Can we just hold a special election and get him back in Congress now? America needs Grayson.

“MSNBC is hurting without Olbermann; CNN makes gains at 8 p.m. with Anderson Cooper’s viewership up 38%.”
What Ed Schultz should have said.
“Will the Democrats take this as a chance to go on offense? Will national Democrats take a lesson from Wisconsin Democrats?” —Rachel Maddow.
Outstanding coverage of the FAA shutdown and union rights, plus a look back at Reagan’s firing of air traffic controllers.
“For the first time, we’re beginning to chip away at Fox News.”
“[T]here’s nobody that works harder, does more and research more [than us]… i just dont [see that at Fox News]”
“I’m hearing a little bit of daylight though [between Democrats and Republicans on Debt Ceiling]. I’m beginning to see people talking in the same ballpark at least. Ah, I’m betting on this being an interesting weekend.”
Andrea Mitchell, MSNBC
This is the kind of in-depth analysis I’ve come to expect from the oh-so-benign Andrea Mitchell. So, let me get this straight, Andrea. You’re “betting on things getting interesting this weekend?” Hmmm, Saturday is July 30th, Sunday is July 31 and the debt ceiling deadline is August 2. Yeah, really out on a limb there.
Quick cranky rant over, nothing else to see here, keep moving.
Here’s Cenk Uygur fascinating take on his departure from MSNBC
MSNBC, not surprisingly, told the NYTimes that Uygur’s version of events are false:
In an interview on Wednesday, [MSNBC Pres.] Mr. Griffin denied Mr. Uygur’s accusations and sounded disappointed that he had decided not to accept the weekend position. “We never told Cenk what to say or what not to say,” Mr. Griffin said.
The “people in Washington,” he said, were MSNBC producers who were responsible for booking guests for the 6 p.m. hour, and some of them had said that Mr. Uygur’s aggressive body language and overall demeanor were making it harder to book guests. “The conversation was, ‘Hey, look, here’s how we can make it better’ — about physical things on the show,” Mr. Griffin said.

Al Gore and Keith Olbermann should grab Cenk ASAP. He’s talented and unafraid. He fits in perfectly with what CurrentTV claims it wants to be.
Riddle me this, MSNBC…
How in the world do Dylan Ratigan, Martin Bashir and Ed Schultz have regular shows when this is on your bench? You do realize your programing actually improves when holidays and/or vacations come around?
